REVIEWS
What a Find! An excellent business tool. I wish I'd had it as a guide 20 years ago.
A business school's curriculum must have. Kim's ideas are not relative to just the tech industry. He is a brilliant writer and profound innovator.

"After reading it I have a totally new and higher level of understanding of the full potential of ecosystems, especially for entrepreneurs trying to build a business. I also see how such a deeper understanding of the term, and how it can be leveraged, can help entrepreneurs build sustainable and profitable companies more quickly and more successfully by consciously taking advantage of all the resources that a purpose-driven ecosystem can bring to bear. In the process, the entrepreneur and his/her leadership team gains a much deeper and more complete “outside-in” perspective on their business and how to best grow their business."

"All potential entrepreneurs should read this book. It is inspiring and gives readers an understanding of both what an entrepreneur goes through, and what he or she can accomplish if he/she sets his/her mind to it."

"After having many corporate roles at 55 decided I would build a company. While working hard with a lot of luck we successfully sold it eleven years later. This book could have saved me time and money not to mention the sleepless nights. This is the closest the entrepreneurs will get to an insurance policy."

“If you want to ensure the highest levels of success for a new entrepreneurial activity then you can learn from the combined wisdom of those who have gone before you. There are more paths to failure than there are to success… and this book outlines a new set of ideas to most effectively and efficiently capitalise on your ideas.”

"When I was introduced to Kim Wilson's work, I was struck by the powerful message he was delivering about developing collaborative entrepreneurial business partners.
As business people, we think about our networks, but in Wilson's book, he takes it to a much deeper level to talk about how we build sustainable, eco-business partners who are invested in you, as much as you are invested in them. This was an entirely new focus for me, and as an early-stage business partner with The Liautaud Institute in Chicago, it got my attention.
After reading this very well-thought out process, I am even more convinced that this is the way of the future for 21st century entrepreneurs.
None of us achieves success without the help of others, and doing so strategically and intentionally is the key to creating sustainable success in your business.
This book is a university program on building Purpose-Driven Business Ecosystems. Read it and thrive!.”
